A problem-solving approach to aquatic chemistry free download

Diverse and self-contained chapters offer a centralized and easily navigable framework for finding useful data tables that are ordinarily scattered throughout the literature. Worked examples provide step-by-step details for frequently used calculations, drawing on case histories from real-world environmental applications.

Chapters also offer tools for calculating quick estimates of important quantities and practice problems that apply the principles to different conditions. This practical guide provides an ideal basis for self-study, as well as short courses involving the movement and fate of contaminants in the environment. In addition to extensive reorganization and updating, the Third Edition includes a new chapter, Nutrients and Odors: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur, two new appendices, Solubility of Slightly Soluble Metal Salts and Glossary of Acronyms and Abbreviations Used in this Book, and new material and case studies on remediation, stormwater management, algae growth and treatment, odor control, and radioisotopes.

Examples and tools help to understand and to guide through industrial and natural water process engineering. Students in chemical and environmental engineering as well as researchers and professionals benefit from this concise and explanatory book. It places established science into a text that allows you to learn and to solve important practical environmental problems.

Environmental consultants in all fields, regulators, and libraries will consider this text an excellent reference for its clear explanation of aquatic chemistry principles. Covers conservation of mass, thermodynamics and kinetics, chemical equilibrium calculations, acid-base, precipitation-dissolution, coordination, redox, and surface chemistry. Considering the current situation and looking to the future, the aim of this publication is to provide a sensible addition to the literature by concentrating on several important aspects of water and the environment.
